Now comes “after-birth abortion." In an article titled, ”After-birth abortion: Why should the baby live?” (really) in the February 2012, ‘Journal of Medical Ethics’ (really) the authors argue that what they call ‘after-birth abortion’ “should be permissible even in cases where the newborn is not disabled."

This has occurred, in fact. According to the ‘National Review’ (May 5, 2014), in Canadaliterally hundreds of babies born alive during attempted abortions were left to die on the table. Planned Parenthood not only defended this practice, one of its lobbyists testified that the question of whether a newborn lives or dies “should be left up to the woman".

Austin, Texas-Jan. 22, 2016

A 42 year old W.A.S.P. was convicted early last month of brutally murdering 19 people in 3 separate incidents over the the last two years. The evidence was conclusive and he was put on death row awaiting lethal injection. The defense was outraged and took the moral high-ground. Protests sprung up and legal challenges ensued. The prosecution then claimed that this was only an “after-birth abortion”, after which the defense appeared dismayed, confused and listless. The protests stopped and the challenges were dropped.

Then, the defendant himself stated that he had actually not murdered anyone. He had simply performed a number (19) of “after-birth abortions”. He was granted a reprieve and a retrial. Today he was granted his freedom, the jury deliberating for only 3 minutes and 32 seconds before issuing a unanimous decision to acquit. The decision was announced to riotous celebration by those in attendance, the after-birth abortionist-American community (AAAC), Public Television and several MSNBC 'talking heads.'

The former defendant is now eligible to receive funding under the Affordable Care Act, and the DNC has asked him through back-channels how he feels about “those non-viable tissue masses at Fox News Corp.” He will be appearing next week on 'The View.'

An Ode To Life

Appreciate all you have, as it- and you- will soon be gone. Leave no heartfelt words unspoken, no sweet gesture incomplete, no act of love undone. Love your spouse with passion and abandon, your kids with patience and understanding but also a firm guidance. Love also the truth, no matter how hard. If pursued by enough people with enough courage, it really will set us free.

And don't forget, we didn't ask to be born. We didn't create ourselves. We are not gods. There is a higher power.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."- Winston Churchill
